Stumbling across Serge Lutens...
I was a horrible perfumista while I was in Paris. There just was not enough time to visit the perfume shrines.
I did manage to locate the Serge Lutens boutique. I gazed longingly at the Sarrasins and Louve bottles through the closed doors.
But...do not cry for me.
Later that day, I met Mr Christopher Sheldrake himself.
The man responsible for my beloved Fumerie Turque and Ambre Sultan.
I wanted to kick myself for not choosing to wearing one of his scent creations. I had foolishly worn Frederic Malle's Iris Poudre.
I told him that I was a huge fan and he seemed startled by the fuss. I am guessing that he is blissfully unaware that he has a huge cult following on the fragrance board at Makeupalley.

today i'm wearing neroli by annick goutal. my favorite sheldrake is bois de violette, which i just bought in paris (i think we must have crossed paths!). my latest crush is chanel 19 parfum, which i didn't buy in paris (der!), but bought the edt instead.
I am wearing Donna by Lorenzo Villoresi today.
I have to say that my fave SL is Ambre Sultan, even though I adore most of them and wore Un Lys for my wedding. And I am lemming the new one - Louve.
My latest crush..ahm..crushes...are Bois des Iles (still amazes me every time I wear it) and Kanebo skincare for my face!
i wish i could wear perfumes. when i moved to the east coast from the midwest, everything started smelling like grandma's old perfume on me. most recently, MJ's daisy turned on me! until then, i am sparingly wearing my 1471.
Today I'm wearing Jo Malone's Orange Blossoms. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with Sheldrake and my latest crush (perfume wise) is Estee Lauder's Private Collection Tuberose & Gardenia :)
as a matter of fact, today, i'm not wearing anything because i have a cold and my nose is running and right now, any perfume or cigarette smoke would send me into a sneezing fit. damn. i hate days like this one. but otherwise, i would wear baiser du dragon today, as it's dark, cold and raining cats and dogs. i like the amaretto and the vetiver of the cartier. yummy.
ad sheldrake, i'm not very familiar with his creations, save for feminite (lovely), have to check it out
I wore The Scent Of Peace by Bond No. 9 today. My favorite Sheldrake is Feminite Du Bois, it is a masterpiece. Latest crush, Saks For Her.

Hi there!
I'm wearing my own amber scent today. My favorite Christopher Sheldrake is Bois oriental. My latest crush is Guerlain Bois d'Armenie.
I was wearing Guerlain Imperiale and after that Dior Homme, but after my shower now, I'll be changing into Ormonde Jayne Ormonde Man. Favorite Sheldrake is probably one of the following: Chergui, Fumerie Turque, Feminite du Bois, Miel de Bois OR Iris Silver Mist. Maybe the last one really, but I wear the rest way more often. Latest love? Caron Narcisse Noir
